Evaluation Janet Kuypers 4/21/15 First they took my car. Had to pick it up from the tow yard. That was a hundred and fifty-three bucks. Then I got a lawyer. I found a cheaper one. That was a thousand, instead of three. Brought my checkbook. May need it at the Secretary of State office to get a copy of my mandatory “abstract” form. Wondered how much that would cost me, but lucky me, the state only wanted twelve bucks for it. Because just after that I had an appointment for my formal “evaluation.” The lawyer said I needed this. I’m afraid of what I need this for. What, to prove I’m sane? Or to prove I’m not — maybe that would lighten my sentence. When I set my “evaluation” appointment, they told me it would take one and a half hours. And it costs one hundred fifty dollars. Joy. I love paying for crime, over and over. But so much for the “evaluation” — they asked a few questions and I filled out tons of forms. But first, I signed every form they could think of. I was so tense and nervous that I couldn’t even sign my name. I kept stumbling that fountain pen on the page, dragging and skipping letters. Like I couldn’t keep still. Got the verdict. Had to go back four more times for more “evaluation”. And for this privilege I only have to pay one hundred forty more dollars.
